Obama has told ANYONE WHO WAS LISTENING just what he intended to do.

But instead, what the sheeple heard was what the adoring MEDIA said he wanted to do. Now, they are learning that they were two VERY different things.

This is just like Germany in 1934. And it’s unfolding the same way.

THe a**holes who thought Obama was a centrist - including most of the GOP - deserve to live in a marxist hell. They are fortunate that conservatives may save them from that fate. At least we are trying to do so.

All this from a man who told the nation last week that he doesn't "believe in bigger government" and who promised tax cuts for 95 percent of Americans.

In Washington, when spending increases are only twice as much more than a previous year instead of three times as much, it is called Draconian budget cuts.

When the Magic Nero says he will cut taxes, it means taxes will only go up twice as much and not three times as much.

Yeah, that's the ticket! You can call it radical squish.

But with the nation already plunging deep into probably necessary debt to rescue the crippled financial system and stimulate the economy

Probably necessary?

This twit probably thinks stepping on the gas is good when you drive over a cliff.

The house is burning down. It's no time to be watering the grass.

Taylor is waking up, but he still hasn't realized that his Pres__ent isn't watering anything. He's emptying a gas can.

Centrists fear that the president's budget reveals his liberal leanings.

Liberal leanings? When do you think these "centrist" sheeple will discover they elected a flat-out Marxist as Leader of the Free World?

So many who should have known better got taken in by BO’s words and ignored his actions and associations. I guess they were too busy patting themselves on the back for supporting a “historical” black guy. How could they have been SO STUPID???

I’ve seen people since explain BO’s words by saying “oh, that was campaign talk” as if lying through your teeth while trying to get elected is no biggie. But he’s still lying “there’s a bankruptcy every 30 seconds caused by health care costs” is a whopper from this week. At least a few of the MSM reported this one.

VERY KEY POINT:

They’re not afraid of his liberal leanings, nor of the leftist orientation of the budget itself.

They’re worried that the budget REVEALS his liberalness.

Sic Semper Leftist - this is always their way, to implement their agenda by stealth and deception.

The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum.
Whenever evil wins, it is only by default:
by the moral failure of those who evade the fact
that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

“The only thing more scary than Obama’s experiment is the thought that it might fail and the political power will swing over to a Republican Party that is currently unfit to wield it.... [We] thus find ourselves facing a void. We moderates are going to have to assert ourselves. We’re going to have to take a centrist tendency that has been politically feckless and intellectually vapid and turn it into an influential force.”

I knew there was a reason I never liked David Brooks.

It’s because he’s a moron.

He’s really just in favor of the status quo: he’s frightened by bambi’s push to the left, just as he’s frightened by an imagined counter-pull to the right. “Pull to the right” means “MORE economic freedom for the individual and greater wealth production resulting in increased economic progress for the country”...Brooks fears that.

He knows very little. The interventionist “status quo” was unsustainable. Government intervention, by its nature, must fail to achieve its objectives, even from the standpoint of its proponents. To counter the negative, unintended consquences of regulation, proponents are forced, by the logic of the situation, to advocate yet MORE regulation. The correct course of action, needless to say, would be to abolish the original regulation.

This is the significance, I believe, of our present crisis: it represents the inevitable and logical working out of a set of premises and assumptions about the relationship between “government” and “the individual” that would have occurred eventually even under “moderate” conservative leadership. “Moderately conservative” means “moderately committed to freedom.” There are no intellectually compelling arguments for such a position, which is the reason Brooks complains about not having a voice — others like him were swayed long ago either by the arguments from the consistent left or the consistent right.

The middle is unsustainable, being governed mainly by fear of any change at all, even change for the better.

But turning centrist values into an influential political force will take some doing.
